I wanna help....

OK, after hours of reading the tutorials I have come to the conclusion that I will never be able to write a script. 90% of it makes no sense to me. With TM's help, I have learned how to add items to a line so I can use more items (pickaxes AND shovels, instead of just shovels to mine with) or how to change or add different axe's to a script so I can make wood to boards. I have figured out on my own how to change delays in scripts so I am not trying to fish to fast for my connection...I can do those kind of things, but writing my own script just isnt going to happen.

I, however, don't want to just sit back and use you guy's scripts all the time without contributing anything. So...if there is ever anything I can do to help out in any way please ask me. I am not working atm (and hope to not be again...but one never knows) so I have a lot of time to be online. I can test things (I think I can figure out how to use most scripts now) I can attempt to find item type's in game for anything you might need and not have the the info already. I can at least attempt to do anything you might need me to try ingame..so please dont hesitate to post, or send me a PM or ICQ me.

Thanks!

Great attitude!

To help around here, short of writing/editing scripts, would be to participate in discussions and be a script tester.

New scripts need people to try them, but most people won't even get the script if it's not of interest to them. A good script tester will try stuff out even if it is unnecessary to their characters.

So I'd say, keep posting, and test out some scripts.

I could not read stuff and most code made my head spin for the longest time.  So don't count yourself out yet as I once could only change ids too. 

However, I love your attitude and we need script testers to run code through thte grinder when it goes public.  I actually learned a lot from script testing at the old UOC.

Anyways, we need more folks like you to support us in our work.  It makes life much easier when we have some different testers on diff comps and connections rocking the code and giving feedback.

Thx.  for your efforts in advance!  I will be making some new code in the near future and you will be added to the beta section when i do!  TY

Adding new item types or other minor changes to different scripts is how I got started. I used EUO for years before I attempted my own work and that was simply taking over someone else's hard work and running with it! My specialty before that was always just "fixing" peoples stuff or changing it a little to do what I needed.

In other words, sounds to me like you are already on the right track.

Most of us couldn't have just looked at EUO and said "hmm, I think I'm going to write a looting system called Claw and, while I'm at it, I'll throw together a Heartwood quester and, just for kicks, write my own coding interface". Only experienced programmers do that! People like me, we start by changing other people's stuff then go from there :) Now I have my own Script Library at SUO!! It's empty, but it's there!!

Thanks Guys!

 I am tryin! Just let me know what you want me to test, or how you want it tested and I am there! I am running 4 accts so have a lot of different char skill sets, and if needed I can always create chars on TC or on another shard and give em different skills to test stuff. I got the time to try different things and don't mind doing it...just give me a yell!

Also if you are interested in script testing.  You do not always have to test the script on your home shard if the script makes or unmakes skills you can test it also on test center this is where i test alot of scripts at.  Because here you can make the perfect template you need and try stuff out very fast.
